Services
Nurturing , thoughtful care through pregnancy, birth, and your postpartum journey.
I offer holistic, compassionate doula support that can be customized to meet your family’s unique needs. Services may be combined, booked individually, or tailored to support you through one or multiple phases of your journey.
Holistic Pregnancy Support: Held From Beginning to Birth
Pregnancy is not just a physical journey —It is a sacred season of growth, change, and becoming. I gently support you by holding space and help guide women through every stage of pregnancy, offering holistic, intuitive, and nourishing support so you feel cared for, empowered, and deeply connected to your body and your baby.
I support pregnancy as a living, breathing cycle — honoring the unique needs of each trimester with gentleness, wisdom, and intention.
My work is soft, intuitive, and holistic. I meet you exactly where you are, honoring your rhythms, your needs, and your unique pregnancy experience. You are not meant to do this alone — you are meant to be held, nourished, and supported every step of the way.
-
The early weeks of pregnancy can feel tender, overwhelming, and uncertain. This is a time when your body is doing profound work behind the scenes, often accompanied by nausea, fatigue, emotional sensitivity, and shifting energy.
During this stage, I focus on:
Soothing pregnancy sickness naturally and gently
Supporting nourishment through easy, grounding, and healing foods
Helping you listen to your body’s cues without pressure or guilt
Encouraging rest, sleep, and nervous system calm
Offering emotional reassurance and gentle guidance as you step into motherhood
This is a time to slow down, soften, and feel supported — not pushed.
-
The second trimester often brings a sense of renewal. Energy returns, the baby becomes more real, and joy begins to expand. This is the “in-between” space — where you are no longer just beginning, but not yet nearing the end.
Here, my support centers on:
Celebrating the halfway milestone and the magic of this phase
Building sustainable nutrition that supports both you and your growing baby
Gentle, pregnancy-safe movement and exercise for strength and balance
Supporting deeper, more restorative sleep
Encouraging emotional connection, confidence, and presence
This is a beautiful season of grounding into your pregnancy and honoring your body’s growing wisdom.
-
The final trimester is a powerful time of completion, preparation, and deep inner work. Your body, heart, and spirit are getting ready for birth, motherhood, and a new chapter of life.
During this phase, I help you:
Nourish your body for strength, endurance, and recovery
Support comfort, circulation, and rest as your body changes
Stay connected to gentle movement and breathing
Create space for emotional release, reflection, and intention-setting
Feel held, confident, and prepared as you approach birth
This is the grand finale — a sacred closing of pregnancy and an opening into birth.
Childbirth Education: Preparing for Birth & Becoming
Childbirth is a sacred, transformative journey — one that touches your mind, body, and soulful connection as you prepare to welcome your baby. Childbirth education is more than learning facts; it is a time to nurture understanding, build confidence, and cultivate trust in yourself, your body, and the life growing within you.
With gentle, holistic guidance, I support you in discovering what to expect during labor, feeling the natural rhythms of your body, and understanding how your baby actively participates in the unfolding process. Together, we explore the physical changes, the emotional currents, and the subtle wisdom your body holds, helping you move through each stage with awareness and ease.
This journey is also about connection — with your baby, your body, and your partner or support person. I guide you and your partner in learning practical tools for comfort, communication, and presence, so you can navigate labor and birth as a team, feeling grounded, empowered, and supported every step of the way.
Through this holistic approach, knowledge becomes confidence, preparation becomes trust, and guidance becomes gentle reassurance. You’ll leave feeling informed, connected, and held — ready to step into birth with clarity, calm, and a deep sense of wonder at the miraculous journey you and your baby are sharing.

Offered as two private 1-on-1 sessions for the fundamentals of childbirth, or a 4-week course for a complete, holistic journey with how pregnancy turns into birth and understanding the best way to support our bodies.
During my 4 week course we explore:
How your body and baby prepare for birth
Gentle movement, breathwork, and comfort techniques
Emotional and intuitive preparation for labor
Practical tools and guidance for postpartum transition
This is a space to connect deeply with your body, your baby, and the magic of birth. Together, we create confidence, clarity, and a grounded sense of support for your journey into parenthood.
The Laboring Journey & Birth: Held, Guided, and Supported
Labor and birth are a sacred passage — an unfolding journey where strength, surrender, and intuition meet. Each birth is its own adventure, with waves, pauses, intensity, and profound moments of power. My role is to softly walk beside you, holding space as you move through each stage with confidence, calm, and trust in your body.
I support you through the natural rhythm of labor, helping you meet each moment as it comes — whether it feels gentle, challenging, unexpected, or deeply empowering.
My approach to birth is soft, intuitive, and deeply respectful of your experience. I am there to hold space, offer reassurance, and support you physically and mentally — allowing you to feel carried, empowered, and deeply supported through one of life’s most profound journeys.
-
As your body works, I offer grounding physical support to help you move through labor with greater ease and comfort. Through gentle touch, pressure, positioning, and body awareness, I help relieve tension, support endurance, and encourage your body to open and flow naturally.
This physical presence is steady and reassuring — helping you feel supported, safe, and never alone as each wave rises and falls.
-
Labor is as much a mental journey as it is a physical one. I help you stay centered, focused, and connected to your inner strength — reminding you of your breath, your rhythm, and your innate ability to birth.
When doubts or intensity arise, I gently guide you back to calm, helping you soften into the experience rather than resist it. Together, we create space for confidence, courage, and trust to grow.
-
Birth is an adventure — unpredictable, powerful, and beautifully raw. I support you through each turn of the journey, helping you navigate obstacles with grace and resilience. Whether labor feels long, intense, or surprisingly swift, I remain a steady presence, adapting to your needs as they shift.
I honor the magic of birth — the moments of surrender, the strength that rises when you least expect it, and the deep transformation that happens as you meet your baby for the first time.
Postpartum: Being Held in the Fourth Trimester
The postpartum season is a sacred continuation of birth — a tender time of healing, learning, and deep bonding. It is a season where both mother and baby are becoming, together. My role is to gently carry you through this transition, offering holistic support that nourishes your body, steadies your heart, and builds confidence as you step into life with your baby.
My postpartum care is holistic, intuitive, and nurturing. I am here to support both you and your baby — softly guiding you through obstacles, celebrating milestones, and honoring the magic of this time. Together, we move through the fourth trimester with care, confidence, and grace.
-
I support postpartum recovery with gentle herbal essentials chosen to nourish, restore, and soothe. These herbal allies help support the body’s natural healing process, encourage rest, and bring comfort during this delicate time. Everything is offered with intention — honoring your body as it recovers from birth and adjusts to new rhythms.
-
Some babies arrive needing a little extra care, and those early days can feel both fragile and miraculous. Whether your baby has spent time in the NICU or comes home with oxygen, monitors, or specialized feeding needs, I walk alongside you with calm, knowledgeable guidance and a heart-centered presence.
With experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), I help you navigate medical routines — from gentle oxygen support to tracking feeds and monitoring weight gain — while honoring your baby as the unique, beloved being they are. Together, we create a rhythm that blends safety, nourishment, and connection, so your baby can thrive and you can feel confident in your care.
-
Caring for a newborn is an adventure filled with discovery. I help guide you through the early days of baby care, supporting you as you learn to read your baby’s cues — from hunger and comfort needs to sleep and alertness.
I also offer gentle, practical guidance around baby health, including understanding what’s normal in those early weeks, such as diaper output, feeding patterns, and signs that baby is thriving. This support helps ease uncertainty and builds trust in your instincts.
-
Bottle feeding is its own meaningful journey — one that can feel tender, empowering, and sometimes overwhelming. I gently support you through feeding by bottle with breast milk, formula, or a combination of both, helping you navigate timing, amounts, flow, and comfort with calm, practical guidance.
I offer support with SOS moments, essential feeding items, and setting up combination feeding in a way that feels sustainable and nourishing for both you and your baby. Whether you are transitioning, supplementing, or choosing bottle feeding from the start, I help you build confidence and trust in your feeding choices.
This is a season of connection, learning, and attunement — and I am here to ensure you feel supported, informed, and reassured as you and your baby discover your rhythm together.
-
Postpartum emotions are powerful, shifting, and deeply connecting. With Joy, tenderness, vulnerability, and wonder how can it exist all at once. I hold space for all of it — offering gentle reassurance, grounding presence, and compassionate support as you move through this emotional unfolding.
This season is not meant to be rushed or carried alone. You deserve to feel held as you heal, bond, and grow into this new chapter.
-
Lactation is its own beautiful journey — one that can feel magical, emotional, and sometimes challenging. I gently support you through breastfeeding or feeding choices, helping you navigate latch, comfort, supply, and rhythm with patience and reassurance.
This is a time of deep connection, learning, and trust — and I am here to help you feel supported, informed, and confident as you and your baby find your flow together.
Placenta Services: Honoring Birth, Nourishing the Mother
The placenta is more than an organ of pregnancy — it is a witness to your journey, a bridge between you and your baby, and a sacred part of birth. In many cultures, the placenta is honored, preserved, and used intentionally as a way to support the postpartum transition and honor the work the body has done.
At Heart to Heart Doula Services, I offer placenta services with deep respect, intention, and heart-centered care. Each service is prepared gently, safely, and mindfully — honoring both the physical and emotional layers of this experience.
All placenta services are offered with:
Respect for your choices and beliefs
Clear communication and gentle guidance
Hygienic, thoughtful preparation
A calm, grounded, and caring presence
This work is not rushed. It is done slowly, intentionally, and with gratitude for the body, the birth, and the journey you’ve walked.
A Note on Choice & Care
Placenta services are a personal choice. I am here to provide information, respectful preparation, and heart-centered support — honoring your autonomy and intuition every step of the way.
-
Placenta encapsulation is a traditional practice chosen by many families as a way to support the postpartum season. Prepared with care and intention, encapsulation allows the placenta to be transformed into capsules that are easy to take during the weeks and months after birth.
Many families choose encapsulation as part of a holistic postpartum plan, often seeking support with:
Postpartum nourishment and replenishment
Supporting energy during recovery
Emotional steadiness during the fourth trimester
Honoring the placenta as part of the birth story
Each encapsulation is handled with reverence, hygienic care, and respect — prepared solely for you and your body’s journey.
-
Placenta tinctures are a gentle, long-lasting way to preserve a part of your placenta for years to come. Often used in small amounts during emotional transitions — such as hormonal shifts, weaning, or moments of stress — tinctures are a symbolic and practical way to carry a piece of your birth experience forward.
Prepared slowly and intentionally, placenta tinctures are a meaningful keepsake and a grounding option for those who feel drawn to long-term postpartum support.
-
Mother’s broth is a deeply nourishing tradition rooted in warmth, rest, and care. Prepared from the placenta, this broth is often consumed in the immediate postpartum days as a way to support rest, grounding, and gentle recovery.
This offering honors the ancient wisdom of warm foods, slow nourishment, and being deeply cared for during the earliest postpartum moments.
-
Placenta art transforms your placenta into a visual keepsake — a reminder of the life-sustaining work your body has done. Often called a “tree of life,” this art reflects the connection between you and your baby and the unique story of your pregnancy.
Each piece is created with care and intention, offering a meaningful way to honor birth, transformation, and motherhood.
-
The umbilical cord represents the first connection between parent and baby. Preserving it as a keepsake is a deeply personal and symbolic choice.
I offer simple, intentional umbilical cord keepsakes — prepared with respect and care — allowing families to honor this connection in a way that feels meaningful and aligned with their values.
Bereavement & Pregnancy Loss Support
Holding Space Through Grief, Love, and Remembering.
Loss during pregnancy or birth changes everything. Whether your journey includes miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal loss, or a pregnancy complicated by a life-limiting or complex diagnosis, you deserve to be met with compassion, gentleness, and care.
At Heart to Heart Doula Services, bereavement support is offered with deep respect for your experience, your grief, and the love you hold for your child. There is no timeline, no right way to grieve, and no expectation for how this should look. I am here to walk beside you — quietly, steadily, and without judgment.
Bereavement care is not about fixing grief or finding meaning before you are ready. It is about being witnessed, supported, and held with care.
My role is to:
Offer calm, steady presence
Listen deeply without trying to change your feelings
Honor your story and your baby
Support you through decisions and transitions
Create space for remembrance, if and when you desire
You are not expected to be strong. You are allowed to feel everything.
You Are Not Alone
Loss is a part of love, and your love is real. Whatever your journey looks like — however brief or long — it matters. I am here to hold space with compassion, dignity, and heart-centered care.
If you feel called to reach out, I welcome you exactly as you are.
-
Miscarriage is often invisible to the world, yet profoundly felt. The grief can be layered with shock, confusion, and isolation. I offer gentle support during and after early pregnancy loss — providing space to process emotions, understand what to expect physically, and feel less alone during this tender time.
Your loss matters. Your baby matters. And your experience is honored here.
-
When a baby is born without life, the weight of grief can feel overwhelming. I support families through stillbirth and birth loss with presence, reverence, and care — honoring both the reality of loss and the deep love that remains.
Support may include:
Holding space during labor and birth
Emotional support for parents and families
Guidance through immediate postpartum needs
Creating a calm, respectful environment for memory-making if desired
Gentle support in the days and weeks following birth
There is no rushing this moment. Everything unfolds at your pace.
-
Some families walk the path of pregnancy knowing their baby may face serious medical challenges or may not survive. These journeys are filled with love, fear, hope, grief, and courage — often all at once.
I offer compassionate support for families navigating:
High-risk pregnancies
Prenatal diagnoses or congenital conditions
Life-limiting or fatal fetal diagnoses
Uncertainty around outcomes
This support centers on honoring your choices, your values, and your connection with your baby — whatever path you walk.
-
Grief does not end when pregnancy ends or after birth. I offer continued support into the postpartum period and beyond, recognizing that healing is not linear and that remembrance is lifelong.
Whether you need quiet companionship, emotional support, or simply someone who understands — you do not have to carry this alone.
Holistic Support for Fertility & Preconception
The journey to conception can be deeply emotional, filled with hope, uncertainty, and moments that test both body and spirit. As a doula, I offer holistic, heart-centered support to help you nurture your body, calm your mind, and prepare for the possibility of pregnancy with intention and care.
Through gentle guidance, I help you explore practices that support your fertility naturally — including herbal and nutrient-rich self-care, topical creams, mindful rituals, and calming techniques — all designed to bring balance to your body and mind. Together, we create a plan that considers your unique health, cycles, and lifestyle, building a foundation for your future pregnancy.
This work is not just about fertility; it is about creating a space for hope, trust, and connection — with yourself, your partner, and the life you are preparing to welcome. By tending to your body and mind now, we lay the foundation for a pregnancy that is supported, intentional, and grounded in care.
